Who I'd like to meet:
Actually, I've met loads of great people - you'll find some of them below - and also have a look at Paula's site (and here she is in Vogue!), Jo and Christoph's and Vroni's, for example. Josh Artmeier's site is also well worth looking at, if you have anything to do with pets or veterinarians!

Please listen to my friend the poet Eddie Gibbons being interviewed!

Here's another poet-friend's blog. She goes by the curious name "Ivoryfishbone". I think you'll agree that her writing is astute and hilarious. I think she should get a newspaper column.

I'd like to bring them together one day as they're scattered all over the world. If I make enough money from writing (well, I can dream, and you can help by buying my novel - which you can read all about here - or by commissioning me!) then I'd hire a castle in Scotland or a rambling farmhouse in France and have a week-long party. Only one condition: everyone would have to bring an instrument/sing a song/read something they've written/dance! Paula, you could illustrate the event, and Jo and Christoph, you could photograph it!

Hey Eric,

I wanted to thank you for accepting my friendship request. Hope you don't mind a total stranger contacting you, but not many people know about my music, so I'm trying to find ways to introduce it to them. I grew up in the Delta regions of the USA, but now permanently reside in Wales - so my music has a bit of a Blues/Alt-Country/Americana/Rock with a dash of Celtic kind of sound to it (I think!).

I do appreciate you taking the time to listen... and thanks again for being my friend!!

TTYL. Hope you're having a splendid week!

Graciously,

Leigh :-)

Hi,

I stopped by to share a quick thought:

"I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving."
~Oliver Wendell Holmes

How sweet it is to know that we are changing everyday!

Hey Eric,

You missed an INCREDIBLE party! Lots of fast and furious Scottish and Irish reels with some lovely slow pieces and songs thrown in for good measure. Shame you couldn't make it along. Catch up with you soon no doubt though. All the best for now, Shona :-)

Yes it was meant to read November, guess I'm not quite caught up with the moment yet!
We've just managed to find a lovely bass player, so we're now a 4 piece, and will play our first gig together this Saturday at a place called Fresh on Lothian Road.
How's things going with you? Getting much time off over Christmas?

hello there,
Nantwich cancelled! What a bummer. Instead went to a very small festival outside of Oban. Pretty, but wished we could've been playing.
see you!
